Netflix India has revised the disclaimer for its series "IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack" following backlash over the portrayal of hijackers. The updated disclaimer now includes both real and code names of the hijackers from the 1999 incident, addressing concerns that names like 'Shankar' and 'Bhola' were used to obscure identities. The series, directed by Anubhav Sinha, faced criticism for allegedly distorting facts and being labeled as propaganda. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting summoned Netflix's content head for a briefing on the controversy, emphasizing the need to respect India's cultural and historical sensitivity.
